Atkinson — On the Subjunctive Mood in Welsh. 465 



ae diot dy arueu . . . , ae titheu d^rodo arueu ereill y minen, 'do one or 

 other, — either to lay aside thy armour ... or that thou shouldst give 

 me other armour ' ; 225, 22 ae mynet y'r llys . . . , ae titheu a 

 arhoycJi yma, ' either to go to the court, ... or that thou remain here.' 

 So also, cf. 282, 1 8 mi a vynnaf iawn y gennyt, neu uinneu a gaffwyf 

 y gennyt ti diruawr ouut, ' I will have satisfaction from thee, or that 

 I should get vast trouble at thy hands.' 



(y) In the phrase ' I cannot refrain from,'' we have practically a 

 case-clause [o5;'(9c^-clause] ; cf. 274, 26 ny allaf i yr dim, rac blinder na 

 chysgwyf ' I cannot at all, through weariness, [keep awake so that] I 

 should not sleep ' ; in the shorter forms, 277, 4,ny allaf i na ehysgwyf 

 ' I can't help sleeping.'
